Would LibreOffice suffice or is OpenOffice necessary?Sounds like LibreOffice is getting more development these days, Google and Red Hat are onboard with paid programmers. Oracle has dropped commercial support for OpenOffice.

LiberOffice is a great set of tools, but there is a slight compatibility issue. I have been forced to reformat files I created using openoffice. While this would be fairly minor, I am a writer and game designer, so I have LOTS of specially-formatted text documents and spreadsheets. Would it be possible to have another go at an openoffice package? I have been unable to get the Slackware package to complete an install. Thanks.
